Collect 2025

Set in the stunning neo-classical rooms of Somerset House in central London, Collect is a five-day celebration of international contemporary craft and design. 

For Collect 2025, Cavaliero Finn is pleased to present Grounded,  a curated selection of world class craft imbued with a sense of calm and tranquillity. In their work our artists capture the essence of an idea by stripping away unnecessary elements, distilling their message to its purest form, evoking a sense of simplicity, purity, or essentialness. There's a focus on experimentation, with each artist working with their medium to create a sense of space, light and harmony.

 

 

• Works from weaver Sara Brennan and embroider Richard McVetis, both showing monochrome pieces that explore space, time and place. 

• An installation of ceramic vessels by Lise Herud Braten, inspired by memories of growing up in the rugged Norwegian landscape. Lise manipulates carves and alters her thrown forms to create organic and spontaneous shapes and structures. 

• Collaborative work from Edmond Byrne and Adi Toch. Merging their specialised materials, metal and glass, they explore how the materials react, move, fuse, stain and mirror, creating a new visual language of textures, colours and forms.

• A selection of furniture and vessel forms by Alan Meredith, an Irish artist, renowned for his innovative work in woodturning and sculpture. Alan's creations explore the natural beauty and inherent properties of wood, emphasizing form, texture, and the organic qualities of the material.

New to Collect

• Japanese artist Mizuyo Yamashita will showcase a still life installation inspired by Morandi with his tonal subtlety, and simple forms.

• Tim Martin will present ceramic sculptures which celebrates his love of 20th-century minimalist modernist artists and his architectural background.  With a reductive approach to construction his work distils landscapes, figures, and natural objects to their simplest forms.
